02 / What it does.

A name people can find you by.

This is what Hood Name does once the registry contracts are live on Robinhood Chain. Everything in this section is a designed preview, and the data in it is example data.

Send to a name.

Type a .hood name instead of pasting 42 characters. The name resolves to the wallet it points at, so one typo stops being an expensive mistake.

Coming soon

See names, not strings.

Reverse records let apps that support Hood Name show your name where your address used to be. Wallets, explorers and leaderboards that read .hood can show who is who.

Coming soon

A profile that travels.

Set an avatar, your X handle and a link once, from your wallet. Any app that reads .hood records can show them next to your name.

03 / The rules.

Clear rules for every name.

The search checks every rule as you type. These are the rules the registry is being built around. If one changes, the change is posted here before registration opens.

Characters
Lowercase letters a to z, digits 0 to 9 and the hyphen -. Nothing else.
Length
3 to 24 characters, not counting .hood.
Suffix
Every name ends in .hood. The search adds it for you, and strips it if you type it.
Hyphens
Not first, not last, and never two in a row. ny-desk works. -ny and ny--desk do not.
Capitals
Names are lowercase. Carter becomes carter, so there is only ever one of each.
Lookalikes
No emoji, accents, spaces or non-Latin letters at launch, so nobody can fake your name with a character that only looks like yours.
Subnames
One word per name for now. Subnames like desk.carter.hood come later.

06 / Questions.

Plain answers.

The short version: search and cards are live today, and names cannot be registered yet.

Can I register a name today?

Not yet. The registry contracts are still being built. Today you can check a name against the rules, see how it looks and make a card to share. Registration opens soon, and the date is posted here first.

Does making a card hold my name?

No. Nothing on this site registers, reserves or checks the availability of a name. The card is a picture of the name you want. How names are first allocated will be published before registration opens.

Is the address on the card mine?

No. It is an example address generated from the name you typed, and it is labelled Example everywhere it appears. It is not connected to any wallet. Never send anything to it.

Why no emoji or accents?

Lookalike characters make names easy to fake. Sticking to a to z, 0 to 9 and hyphens keeps carter.hood looking like carter.hood and nothing else. Wider character support may come later, once there are protections for it.

What is $NAME?

The Hood Name token, launching on Pons on Robinhood Chain. It is a community token. It is not a share in anything, it pays nothing, and like any token it can lose value. Only buy what you can afford to lose.

Is Hood Name part of Robinhood?

No. Hood Name is an independent project built on Robinhood Chain. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected with Robinhood Markets, Inc.
